Plant-based protein refers to a category of dietary protein sources derived exclusively from plants, excluding animal-based sources like meat, dairy, and eggs. These plant-derived proteins are obtained from various plant foods such as legumes (e.g., beans, lentils, and chickpeas), grains (e.g., wheat, rice, and quinoa), nuts (e.g., almonds and peanuts), seeds (e.g., chia and flaxseeds), and certain vegetables (e.g., broccoli and spinach). Plant-based protein has gained significant popularity due to its numerous health benefits, environmental sustainability, and alignment with various dietary preferences, including vegetarianism, veganism, and flexitarianism. It offers a valuable source of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making it a nutritious and versatile option for individuals seeking to meet their protein needs while adhering to plant-centric or sustainable diets. Consequently, it is gaining traction across Japan.
